Ц Switch off the ignition.
Ц Read off coolant level on radiator expansion tank
⇒ fig. 215. When the engine is cold it should be between
the УMINФ and УMAXФ marks. When the engine is hot it
may be slightly above the УMAXФ mark.

The coolant level should be checked with the engine switched off.

The coolant level is monitored by a warning lamp in the instrument
cluster. However, we recommend that it should be
checked occasionally.

Coolant losses

Any loss of coolant normally indicates a leak in the cooling system.

In this case the cooling system should be inspected by a qualified
workshop without delay. It is not sufficient merely to top up the
coolant.

If there are no leaks in the system, a loss of coolant can only occur
if the coolant boils and is forced out of the system as a result of
overheating.

Caution
Radiator sealants must not be added to the coolant. Such additives
could seriously impair the function of the cooling system.
